About the Mission
Helping all children find their way home
Children belong at home.
Wherever it may be, home is the one place in the whole wide world where a child is safe, loved, and cared for.
That’s why we’re on a mission to educate and inspire families, children, educators, and community members. We want to provide everyone with the knowledge and tools to assist children in safely finding their way home.
That’s the message behind “Toula the Toucan Finds Her Way Home” and her free Parent-Teacher Guide. But there are so many other ways to make an impact.
Do you want to get involved and help support this mission?
If so, thank you and welcome to our community!
Ways to Get Involved
I’m Maria Kostelas, and I’m passionate about children developing the skills they need to stay safe and to thrive, while having fun just being kids! Schedule a live or virtual event with me where I use music, movement, and hands-on activities to teach valuable safety lessons while having fun.

Spread the Word
If you purchased “Toula the Toucan Finds Her Way Home,” tell us what you think! Share photos of your kids reading the book, singing Toula’s song, or drawing their own maps. We also love to see your child’s drawings of Toula! Reviews of the book on Maria’s website are also very appreciated. The more people hear about Toula and her mission, the more people can be helped by her message.
Monetary donations of any amount can make a big difference! Donors can sponsor a classroom visit by Maria, help offset printing costs for the books, donate Toula the Toucan books to local schools or community groups, and so much more.
